Quiet here- wishing you a safe evening tonight and a very happy 2019!
This is fun: end of the year egg report… 2018= 8,467 eggs. That’s 705.583 dozen! That include ducks, geese, and all chicken eggs that were collected all year. Not a bad year. Here’s to more in 2019.
I want to thank all of you, near and far, who are curious enough to tune in and read what’s going on in our small corner of the world. I love to get your feedback on the blog or on the Facebook posts. You so often make my day with your kind words. Please continue to join us on the journey! I’m sure there will be many more in 2019. Until then, as always~
Thanks for reading!
She has dropped her blanket of white over the hills and left her fleece behind in the draws where the sun never quite shows his face. Spent pomegranates hang from the trees like so many forgotten Christmas ornaments. The little dinos leave their tracks behind in the snow where only perspective can show how large or small the threat may be. Winter has come. 
It’s always fun to give at any time of the year, but it’s doubly fun at Christmas… at least for me. My co-worker feels the same way and she told me she had a blast shopping this year. One of the gifts she found was for us to use on the farm and she could not wait to give it to us. So, Wednesday she made me bring home something to try out. I was kind of afraid to use it, but today it was time to put it to the test. 
Hey y’all! It’s Wednesday and that means a short post day. Just a quick update for now. I guess our biggest news is that my folks have arrived for Christmas. They rolled in around 3 pm this afternoon. We’ve been slowly getting ready for this visit, but we’re never completely prepared. I suppose we’re good enough for puttin’ the feet up and relaxing. Witness the patriarch in his normal position after driving for around 6 hours today. With a rum and coke already polished off by the time I got home from work. Guess we’re all ready for the holiday. 
Last Saturday was the day we had set aside to move the RCW. I had mentioned this was an interesting, if difficult, process and I’d take some photos of the more interesting segments. You know, when you have plans they never really go the way you think they should. I didn’t take any video, and I kept forgetting to take photos until after the fact; but I still have a fun fact to share with you. It’s about the most difficult way to thread the needle. 
Does that title bring to mind any song from the 80’s with specific dance moves attached to it? Electric Slide anyone? Well, if you’re not too sure exactly what I mean and you make through to the end of this post today, “I’ll teach you, teach you, teach you; I’ll teach you the electric slide.” Anyway… what Sue suggested I write about today is the visit from our two math-physics-engineering friends Ron and Kathy. See this graphic to the right? It’s all just nonsense to me, but these two super bright people get this kind of stuff. So, before we ever embark into possibly difficult or dangerous territory, we ask them to take a field trip and impart magnificent words of wisdom unto our ears. Continue on, if this sounds interesting. 
It’s Wednesday, so we’re doing a quick post again. I tried to come up with some theme to bring everything together as a whole, but I couldn’t find something overarching – so we’re just going to do some bits and pieces. Well, if that’s the theme, i guess it brings everything together in some semblance of a whole. Hmmm. 
Ok, so maybe not really that exciting, but definitely new. Well, not brand new, but definitely new to us. Even though we’re sorta still caught in those doldrums we talked about last week, Sue is fighting the good fight to get out of them (I’m just floundering). In her attempt to paddle out of the calm sea area, Sue has purchased a new to us piece of equipment. It’s something she’s been wanting for a while now and we thought we had a good lead, then it rather fizzled, but recently was brought to life again. Can any one guess???
